Resumo: Science fiction and comic books share similarities and can even overlap: there is science fiction in the format of comic books, but not all comic books are science fication (and vice versa). The purpose of this article is to analyze both of their trajectories, point out similarities and how American science fiction contributed to the creation of superheroes in the 1930s and 1940s that continue to be a great success today, eighty years later. To this end, it discusses the publishing market at the time, the creation of pulps and comic books and how various names linked to science fiction migrated to comic books, bringing with them ideas about the genre. Finally, the article also mentions the unusual intersection of a group of fans and sci-fi writers known as The Futurians with a Batman story

A proposta deste artigo é analisar a trajetória de ambas, apontar semelhanças e investigar como a ficção científica americana contribuiu para a criação dos super-heróis nas décadas de 1930 e 1940, que continuam fazendo grande sucesso até hoje, oitenta anos depois. Para tanto, o artigo discute o mercado editorial à época, a criação das pulps e dos comic books e como diversos nomes ligados à ficção científica migraram para as histórias em quadrinhos, levando consigo ideias sobre o gênero. Por fim, o artigo traz também a intersecção inusitada de um grupo de fãs e escritores de ficção científica conhecidos como The Futurians com uma história do BatmanUFRGS2021-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/11164310.22456/1983-201X.111643Anos 90; Vol. 28 (2021); 1-18Anos 90; v. 28 (2021); 1-181983-201X0104-236Xreponame:Anos 90 (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGS-30porhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/111643/84851Copyright (c) 2022 Anos 90info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSeiffert, Andreya Susane2022-01-21T21:11:12Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/111643Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90PUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90/oaianos90@ufrgs.br||1983-201X0104-236Xopendoar:2022-01-21T21:11:12Anos 90 (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
